I knew that I wanted to make our Mother's Day Gifts this year, but I just didn't know what to make. It had to be something simple and versatile as the gift would go to three very different mothers in our lives--my own Mama, my Aunt Donna, and Brian's mom. In the end, I decided to sew up some handkerchiefs from my new favorite book, Linen, Cotton, Wool. I embroidered the first letter of each of their names on the kerchiefs, had the kids paint the cards, and added some dried lavender for effect. The embroidery isn't perfect as I am new to that sport (and neither is the sewing for that matter), but hopefully they will be loved nonetheless.

Oh my goodnes. I almost forgot! Your gifts are so sweet. Now I'm gonna have to get busy quick!
when will you stop doubting your beautiful creations? Everything you make is wonderful even if there are a few flaws, which I doubt there are. You are amazing!
I love creative people! Nice to meet you and thanks for joining my site:)
A beautiful idea, and the napkins look lovely! ~Deb
Why didn't I know this was you?! I guess it's the OR thing that threw me off. I totally forgot you guys moved since you are moving again, right? Please disregard previous comment in which I expressed my pleasure to meet you. I think I am well acquainted with my son's GOD MOTHER!
